Challenge
The greenhouse produce provider was using a small service provider that was struggling to keep up. The client realized it needed a team that offered the flexibility, responsiveness, and the fundamental breadth of capabilities necessary to meet their ever-expanding market.
The information technology needs of a greenhouse producer are the same as any other business—powerful robust computing, storage, networking, and data protection. A lack of consistent data management can leave an organization incapable of invigorating that which is vital to their business development and growth. Information and communication technology initiatives are widely employed in the production of agricultural goods. The solutions include earth mapping, soil management, crop production, and geographic data systems, to name a few. All of these technologies are used to increase agricultural output. The processes yield enormous amounts of data to take in, break down, and apply to business decisions.
Solution
The OnX team listened to the business challenges and presented a plan based on the client’s requests. However, the team also introduced the greenhouse producer to OnX security, communications, and professional services along the way. In illuminating our expertise, the client realized we had the potential to be a trusted partner for all of their information technology needs.
We presented a plan that included:
- A private dedicated cloud in a OnX data center facility.
- Managed offsite data backup.
- Secondary mirrored site for managed disaster recovery.
- Network Terminal services.
- Full Security Information and Event Management solutions.
Results
Executing an entire organization’s technology initiatives is not often achievable with a single solutions provider. Some specialize in data center infrastructure, others focus on cloud and managed services, and still others focus on the security layer, but few providers can master all.
OnX combines deep technology experience with the expertise of professionals for all things cloud and beyond. We were able to assist the client and deliver an end-to-end solution. From consulting through implementation to ongoing optimization, OnX was able to help the client transition from a legacy model to a new efficient cloud enabled solution that will help them achieve their business goals.
